Siheyuan: Lou Xiao'e, Yu Li and the Savage Woman

"I'm trying to find a way to get the money for New Year's goods. Go get me 20 yuan right now..."

Sha Zhu's tone was very firm.

At this time, He Wenhui also saw Qin Huairu's unwillingness.

"Brother Zhuzi, let's forget it. I'll think of another way..."

Sha Zhu waved his hands.

"Sister Wenhui, I don't have that much money, so I can only help you up to this point..."

Qin Huairu took out 20 yuan after much hesitation.

Sha Zhu snatched the money and handed it to He Wenhui.

"Take the money. I can only help you this much..."

In Sha Zhu's opinion, he and He Wenhui's family were almost in the fifth mourning period, so giving 50 yuan was already the most he could do...

He Wenhui nodded while crying.

Then she led her two younger brothers to the backyard.

Liu Hongchang followed closely behind.

After the He siblings left, Sha Zhu asked, "How much money is left at home?"

Qin Huairu replied: "All together, there is still about 90 yuan."

Silly Zhu nodded.

The salary will be paid in two days, and I will have about 40 yuan again.

I don’t know when I can pay back the 50 yuan I lent to He Wenhui.

So I have to save more money in the future, so that I can get through illness or disaster smoothly...

"Hurry up and cook. Heat up the food I brought back. Also, heat up two ounces of wine for me."

After giving the instructions, Sha Zhu lay down on the bed and closed his eyes to rest.

Soon, dinner was ready.

There was no need to cook, Qin Huairu simply heated up the three dishes that Sha Zhu brought back.

Then she cooked some porridge and ate some steamed bread.

Qin Huairu, Sha Zhu, and He Yushui ate their dinner in silence.

Qin Huairu was in a bad mood because her daughter Xiaodang was still missing.

Sha Zhu specially picked up a piece of chicken for her.

But Qin Huairu had no appetite at all.

She hurriedly drank a bowl of porridge, ate a steamed bun, and lay down on the bed.

Sha Zhu drank white wine and ate the food.

Not long after, He Yushui finished his meal and returned to his room.

At this time, only Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu were left in the east wing of the central courtyard.

He raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, then took a bite of the food, then stood up and walked towards the bed.

Qin Huairu was sleeping soundly when she suddenly found someone unbuttoning her clothes.

After opening my eyes, I found that it was Shazhu.

She hurriedly climbed up from the bed: "Silly Zhu, the weather is too cold, and my body hasn't recovered yet. I'll accompany you in a few days..."

Sha Zhu just kept shaking his head.

"I took a shower at the factory today. Besides, didn't you say you would give me a son?"

Shazhu took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed.

Qin Huairu wanted to refuse, but Sha Zhu kissed her directly...

……

The next day, He Yushui made breakfast because Qin Huairu fell ill and couldn't get out of bed...

At the same time, Liu Hongchang found a friend and borrowed two bicycles, and he also asked his mother for 20 yuan.

In this way, he and He Wenhui each rode a bicycle and left the city with 40 yuan...

It was not known whether it was God's blessing or luck, but after spending most of the day, Liu Hongchang and He Wenhui bought two old hens and more than 100 eggs in a rural village.

In addition, Liu Hongchang spent five yuan to buy two turtles from a shepherd boy.

In this way, the two of them traveled from village to village.

It was not until after eight o'clock in the evening that the two men returned to Sijiu City with a full load of goods.

Dried mushrooms, pheasants caught with traps, and dozens of sparrows that had been drugged...

Instead of returning to Yard 95, the two men rode their bicycles straight to the black market.

In this way, all the things found in the countryside were thrown into the black market.

After final calculations and deducting all costs, the two earned a total of 42 yuan.

At this moment, He Wenhui was very excited.

She didn't expect that she could earn as much money in one day as others could only earn in a month.

She was extremely grateful to Liu Hongchang.

If it weren't for Liu Hongchang's help, she really didn't know what to do.

Afterwards, Liu Hongchang accompanied He Wenhui to the hospital again and gave all the 42 yuan to He Wenyuan.

The remaining 40 yuan will be used to collect things in the countryside tomorrow...

In the next few days, Liu Hongchang and He Wenhui used the same method and earned a total of more than 120 yuan.

Before I knew it, it was the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month.

The steel mill is closed for holiday.

Cao Haotian accompanied Guan Jun back to Xiaojia Village.

He bought some incense, candles and paper money and returned to the village to pay tribute to his deceased grandfather.

For lunch, Cao Haotian had lunch at Guan Jun's house.

After dinner, he rode his bicycle back to Sijiucheng alone.

Yu Li went back to be with her parents, and Cao Haotian gave her a special vacation and asked her to come back after the New Year.

Lou Xiao'e also returned to her parents' home.

With nothing to do, Cao Haotian went back to No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.

"Brother Haotian, why don't you come back in the morning? We can have a couple of drinks at noon."

Sha Zhu came forward.

Cao Haotian smiled and responded: "I went back to the village this morning."

At this time, Xu Damao's sister Xu Damei came to Cao Haotian and said sarcastically:

"You are Cao Haotian!"

"You know Lou Xiao'e, right? She's my brother's unwanted wife. I heard you picked her up..."
